an illustrated card featuring an sxpression of friendship or other sentiment. It is usually given
on special occasion. Congratulation cards belong to greeting cards. A greeting card is usually

However, there are variations of greeting cards. Look at the following examples.
Those are some congratulations cards. The first card is to congratulate someone who won
a competition. The second card is for someone who just graduated. The last card is to
congratulate someone’s birthday.
